Reply to "Hydraulic roller lifter issue?"

Dear LeMans,

         Initially, I thought that it had broken off.  Later, I looked more carefully and it had not broken off, but *worn* off due to the sub-standard hardness.  When I pulled all the other push rods, there was another one with similar abnormal wear.  Where the metal went, is through the oil system including the oil filter. The engine runs much more quietly and as strong as ever with sixteen fully functional and properly hardened push rods.

                      Warmest regards, Chuck Engles
